History
Шаблон:Primary sources The school was founded in 1969 as a segregation academy by white parents seeking to avoid racially integrated public schools.[2] In 1975, a federal court ordered the state of Louisiana to stop providing textbooks and school bus service to Bowling Green school. The court ruled that substantial state assistance to the racially segregated Bowling Green School violated of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment [2]
In 1999, Bowling Green enrolled its first black student.[3] The same year, the school applied to state of Louisiana Department of Education to be certified as no longer racially discriminatory thus make its graduates eligible for the TOPS scholarship program. After the federal Justice Department directed the state not to certify the school as nondiscriminatory, Bowling Green School filed suit in federal court.[3] The district court found that Bowling Green had not demonstrated a good faith commitment to eliminating the vestiges of past discrimination and has not made meaningful progress toward becoming a nondiscriminatory school. In 2004, the ruling was upheld by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals[3]
